Surviving the day without caffeine...

I guess you could say I am a scientist, not officially, not yet anyway... but I am studying a Bachelor of Science and my sister calls me a "Zoological-biological-geneticist" and I happen to like that title, so lets go with that...

Anyway, as a result of my area of interest I tend to think too much about things of no consequence and try and understand them the only way I know how... that is by means of science.

It came to my attention today that no matter how much sleep I get, I am always tired. If I dont sleep, I am tired, if I sleep too much, I am tired. Really what is the point? But I hate it. I HATE being tired, I HATE being so tired that I nearly fall asleep in lectures, even though I have had a decent nights sleep the night before.

So when today came around, and I was out of sugar this morning and did not have any coffee, I was left to fend entirely for myself through out the day... and it was not pretty. I dont doubt that I have some form of attention disorder. I am easily distracted, and my attention span is limited at best. *Glances out window... *

But the fact of the matter is, that no amount of V or red bull can keep me awake. Coffee sometimes brings me to normal. I have taken to drinking black coffee to save on the milk side of things... but really it is so upsetting that caffeine does not work =( So the scientist in me feels that it is because I drink too much caffeine. I have even cut back!!! Oh well, me thinks caffeine pills might be the next best step...

In todays Genetics class we actually learned about genetics... I had been waiting the entire year to learn about Mendelian genetics... and ofcourse it is taken by the guy who snobbed me via email and so left a bad taste in my mouth. I did like him too, his accent confuses me, but no.... NO, not anymore buddy!

Buying sugar and so being able to have coffee when I got home ♥

And now, I shall resume revising. Hopefully I stay awake!!!
